Gift of Yumi Janairo Roth and Aarrow Sign Spinners.
2021.07.001

Collaborating with professional sign spinners, Yumi Janairo Roth creates insightful juxtapositions between the physical presence of street-corner advertising and the work of one of America’s founding conceptual artists, Sol LeWitt (1928-2007). The sign includes the text from Sol LeWitt's "Sentences on Conceptual Art" (no. 10) and was spun by Rayen Jones for Spin (after Sol LeWitt).

Image description: A man stands in front of a building lifting a red arrow-shaped sign above his head. Text on the sign reads: “Ideas can be works of art.” Further text on the building identifies it as the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art.
